(2) the process for separation, storage and disposal of waste generated by the process, including the temporary storage of wastes;

(3) the minimum and maximum volumes of the types of material or solid waste to be stored prior to processing or disposal, and the minimum and maximum time that material or waste will be stored;

(4) facility plans and elevations, drawn to scale, and specifications including:

(6) a description of the facility operation which includes:

(a) a sequential description of the major components used for the processing of the solid waste starting from its delivery at the facility and continuing through the treatment and loading operations;

(b) procedures for facility start-up, and scheduled and unscheduled shut downs;

(c) a description of potential safety hazards and methods of control, including, but not limited to, arrangements to detect explosion potential and equipment installed to minimize the impact of explosion; and

(d) a description of personnel safety equipment and protective gear, including, but not limited to, showers, eye wash, fire extinguishers, hoses, hard hats, safety goggles, hearing protection, and proposed personnel hygiene facilities;

(7) an operations plan that includes all plant systems complete with process flow and instrumentation diagrams and heat and material balances; and
